Positive film
A positive film is a photographic film that is primarily used as a copy material for film copies and whose colors and gray values are immediately visible in their natural gradations. As copier material, positive films have a significantly lower sensitivity to light and are finer-grained. The positive film produces a projectable slide after development .
A reversal film can not be described as a positive film.
Procedure
A cinema film is usually exposed on negative film , the positive - i.e. the finished film copy for projection in the cinema - is exposed by a contact copy of the negative onto a positive film and then produced by developing.
